🏡 Periodic Tenancies Discussed during Renters’ Rights Bill second reading. During the second reading, MPs raised concerns over moving to periodic tenancies. Propertymark believes this shift could destabilize tenancies, leading to rent hikes and properties effectively becoming short-term lets, which, with limited supply, will drive up rents for individuals, couples and families looking for a long-term home. Housing Minister Matthew Pennycook, MP, has made clear that there is a need for further discussion around student tenancies as the Bill progresses. We will continue to keep ARLA Propertymark members informed as developments are made. #RentersRightsBill #PrivateRentedSector #Landlords #Tenants #PeriodicTenancies

The leasing market has seen a continuation of the positive momentum from the second half of 2023 into Q1 2024. Take-up in Q1 reached 648,000 sq ft, showing a 35% increase compared to the same period in 2023, although it still remains 10% below the five-year average. Notable submarkets such as Maidenhead, Luton, Woking, Basingstoke, and Chiswick have experienced high levels of occupier demand in Q1 2024, surpassing their five-year average take-up levels. The Western Sector remains the most active, accounting for 48% of the total take-up in Q1. Despite the overall positive trend, there are still submarkets with limited occupier demand, with varying levels of requirements across different areas. Demand is expected to remain strong for Prime Grade A offices with high amenity offerings and strong ESG credentials. See more:

A large and stable Institutionally owned private rental market has to be part of the short and long term solution to the UK's housing needs. At abrdn we are huge believers in the BTR market and the provision of quality service and amenities within buildings that help to create communities, as exemplified by our joint venture partners at John Lewis Partnership and the exciting new homes we will be bringing forward together. As with all tenures of housing though, to truly make a difference to housing supply and for the sector to reach the levels of Institutional ownership and liquidity it has in other countries, we also need to widen our outlook. Modern management systems and good design allows us to also invest into a leaner rental product that still provides excellent quality and certainty of tenure to tenants. As investors and developers we should be looking at the breadth of where we can invest as well as deepening our exposure in the more established areas of the market. Green Street News were kind enough to let me talk about this subject in more detail in the attached article. #housing #BTR #living

Savills presents an optimistic forecast for the UK property market in 2024. Enhanced economic conditions have revised property value expectations upwards, with a notable 2.5% increase this year and further growth anticipated by 2028. Areas away from London are highlighted for their significant growth potential, presenting lucrative opportunities for investors. As transaction volumes increase and financing conditions improve, strategic investment in these regions could be particularly rewarding.
